Everyday care

To ensure that your IMPRESSA or ENA produces top-quality coffee and functions correctly, the machine should be cleaned and maintained on a daily basis. You should proceed as follows:

• Empty coffee grounds container and drip tray every day and rinse with hot water.
• Clean and de-scale the machine or change the CLARIS plus filter cartridge when instructed to do so in the display.
• Wipe the machine surface with a damp cloth or wipe the coloured front panels with the JURA caring cloth.

Integrated de-scaling programme

To start the de-scaling programme, switch off the machine.

The de-scaling programme for your IMPRESSA XF50 can be started at any time with or without display prompt.

• With display prompt:

If READY SCALED lights up in the display, switch the machine off and hold the Rinse key down until EMPTY TRAY is displayed.

• Without display prompt:

If READY lights up in the display, switch the machine off and hold the Rinse key down until EMPTY TRAY is displayed.

If MACHINE DE-SCALING is displayed for an extended period, the de-scaling programme was started with too much liquid or the water was replenished before the tank was empty.

• Tip: start the de-scaling programme again with 0.5l water. During the programme, the water tank is completely emptied. Please do not refill with water until you are prompted to do so in the display.

If MACHINE DE-SCALING lights up even though the CLARIS plus filter has been inserted, the filter was not programmed.

• Tip: remove the filter and run the de-scaling programme. Then insert a new filter and program the machine correctly.

CLARIS filter change

The filter change programme for your IMPRESSA XF50 can be started at any time in either of two ways:

• With display prompt:

If READY FILTER lights up in the display, switch off your machine and hold the Rinse key down until REPLACE OPEN TAP is displayed. Insert the new filter and turn on the tap for dispensing hot water/steam. The IMPRESSA XF50 will now begin to rinse the filter.

• Without display prompt:

If READY lights up in the display, switch off your machine and hold the Rinse key down until REPLACE OPEN TAP is displayed. Insert the new filter and turn on the tap for dispensing hot water/steam. The IMPRESSA XF50 will now begin to rinse the filter.

• Note: the water may be slightly discoloured, but this is not hazardous to health.
• Tip: if the volume of drinks dispensed is low, the CLARIS filter cartridge should be replaced every two months, even if the prompt to do so does not appear in the display.

Cleaning the Easy Cappuccino frother / fine foam frother

If the Easy Cappuccino frother / fine foam frother is to fulfil your coffee dreams, it needs to be cleaned regularly.

• Tip: rinse the frother with fresh water after use. To do this, dip the hose in a container of water and draw off steam until only clean water flows.
• Note: the Easy Cappuccino frother / fine foam frother can be completely disassembled for the purposes of giving it a thorough clean.
• Tip: to ensure that all traces of milk are removed, we recommend using the Auto Cappuccino Cleaner from time to time.

Cleaning the Professional Cappuccino Frother / Professional fine foam frother

If the Professional Cappuccino Frother / Professional fine foam frother is to fulfil your coffee dreams, it needs to be cleaned regularly.

• Tip: rinse the frother with fresh water after use. To do this, dip the hose in a container of water and draw off steam until only clean water flows.
• To ensure that all traces of milk are removed, we recommend using the Auto Cappuccino Cleaner regularly.

• The Professional Cappuccino Frother can be completely disassembled for the purposes of giving it a thorough clean.

Drip tray

Is it normal for water to run into the drip tray every time that coffee has been dispensed?

Yes, after each occasion on which coffee is dispensed, the residual water is conveyed into the drip tray via a special valve.

Coffee taste and temperature

Coffee taste:

Are you unhappy with the taste of the coffee? If the coffee tastes unpleasant, this could be due to any of the following reasons:

• The de-scaling programme was run with CLARIS filter cartridge inserted. In that case, take out the filter, insert a new one and program the machine accordingly.
• Your coffee beans are "sour". Empty the bean container and fill it with fresh beans.
• Tip: you can program the aroma to suit your particular taste. Press the P key to switch to the Programming mode, where you can choose between AROMA INTENSIVE and STANDARD.
• Tip: when drawing a cup of coffee you have the option of choosing the coffee strength. If you press the key only briefly, you will get a mild coffee/Espresso, if you hold the key down longer you will get a standard strength coffee/Espresso. If you continue to press the key, you will get a strong coffee/Espresso. Make sure you read the message shown in the display!

Coffee temperature:

Is your coffee not hot enough? The following are some commonly found reasons why the coffee might not be hot enough:

• The coffee temperature was not set to HIGH.
• If you are not using a CLARIS filter cartridge, your machine may be furred. Check the water hardness, program this correctly and de-scale the machine.
• Tip: heat up your cup!

Milk foam

The IMPRESSA XF50 are supplied with the hot water nozzle as standard. However, thanks to the Connector System©, you can connect the Cappuccino Frother (fine foam frother), which will allow you to froth milk.

If the milk is not foamed with the Cappuccino Frother (fine foam frother), the frother is blocked. Remove the frother and clean it thoroughly.

• Please note that the frother must always be cleaned thoroughly after a drink has been dispensed (with froth).
• Tip: for cleaning purposes use the special JURA Auto Cappuccino Cleaner.
• Note: the fat content of the milk has no effect on the froth. Even skimmed milk can be used.
• Tip: if you are not using a CLARIS filter cartrdige, the de-scaling programme can be run, as lime deposits can impede the drawing off of steam.

Display and text messages

CALCIFIED lights up although the CLARIS filter cartridge is in use.

• The CLARIS filter cartridge was inserted, but not programmed.
• Tip: remove the filter from the water tank and run the de-scaling programme. Then insert a new filter and program the machine accordingly.

• The machine must be switched off to start the de-scaling programme.
• The machine was programmed for filter operation.
• Tip: remove CLARIS plus filter cartridge and program the water hardness.

• The de-scaling programme was started with too much liquid or the machine was replenished with fresh water too early. During the de-scaling programme, the water tank must be completely emptied.
• Tip: run the de-scaling programme again with 0.5 l water.

READY is displayed, but the coffee smells unpleasant.

• The de-scaling programme was run while the CLARIS filter cartridge was inserted, the filter was not programmed.

Caramelised coffee beans

To ensure that your machine provides satisfaction for a long time and to avoid repairs, please note that the grinder on your JURA coffee machine is not suitable for coffee beans that have been treated with additives (e. g. sugar) during or after roasting.

Use of such coffee mixtures can result in damage to the grinder. Any repair costs incurred as a result are not covered by the warranty provisions.
